No kidding. Can't believe I won the obvious joke race. In actuality, my time on the toilet is pure business. There is nothing tranquil about it.

(In no way shape or form do you I believe you don't have the right to say this but if we are gonna talk about people getting their feelings hurt over faith then by all means I have a right to state this).

Honestly don't see what this has to do with the discussion. At no point did Svenn say anything about Jesus Christ or Christian faith.

I'm just gonna pretend like you didn't bring that up because by bringing that up you put yourself in the same category as the people who decided to derail the purpose of this post in the first place.

The patriarch of Zen spent 9 years in a cave altering his consciousness, screwing a nail into his thigh to keep from falling asleep; countless later patriarchs have almost died from starvation or illness trying to realize the truth of Zen. If I or you think we have any association with them because of our glutinous, bourgeoisie fiddlings in some crappy local coffee shop, we are indeed smug and unbelievably shallow.

OK, that being said, it's probably an honest mistake on your part, due to the fact that western culture has so poorly interpreted eastern thought. Just tread lighter next time

Calm down, weirdo. "Zen" also has a colloquial meaning too.

Mine is a small cigar/liquor/wine store that has a hidden basement room where you can smoke/drink and just chill.

Anyone truly zen would not be offended at all. Taking offense says more about you than about him.

My favourite place to sit is in my window, with my legs outside and in the sun.
